Consultation description

This Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) research and consultation document:

• summarises options for a new experimental statistical series (in addition to the Claimant Count) which gives a consistent picture of national and local labour market conditions over time

We would like you to tell us whether the new statistics would be useful and invite your comments on the scope, timing and regularity of any future release of these statistics.
